Agilent 660/670/680 Series FTIR is the world’s best FTIR. It has the following features: a 38 mm dynamically aligned, 60° mechanical bearing Michelson interferometer, covering the widest spectral range down to 20 cm-1, maximum resolution better than 0.075 cm-1, revolutionary air-cooled source, delivering more than 50 mW of power. The instrument can be upgraded to 670 or 680 FTIR, providing you with maximum flexibility as your FTIR needs change.
This document provides a design overview and guaranteed specifications for the Agilent 660, 670, and 680 Series FTIR spectrometers. The series features dynamically aligned Michelson interferometers and air-cooled sources, with the 670 and 680 models offering higher sensitivity and step-scan capabilities.
